Canton, W. (2024) Dangerous Dada? Reconceptualising UK Drill as Avant-Garde. In: Canton, Wanda, ed. Sonic Rebellions: Sound and Social Justice. London and New York: Routledge, pp. 64-90.

A re-situating of UK Drill rap music as an avant-garde art medium, rather than a criminal one. Canton traces a number of policing policies and practices that existed before Drill emerged in the UK, contextualising a hostile and racist climate within which it developed. Canton therefore challenges the claims that UK Drill causes knife violence.

Canton, W. (2022) I Spit Therefore I Am: Rap as Knowledge. Interfere: Journal for Critical Thought and Radical Politics, 3: 59-81.

A 'working through' of three propositions related to rap as a decolonial form of knowledge and method. Canton cautions against the romanticism of explicitly political lyricism if it dismisses or disregards the potentially subversive effects of other forms of rap music, including gangster rap or pop hip-hop.
